John Singleton –
Director, screenwriter, boy.
January 6, 1968 – April 29, 2019.
Aged 51 years.
Most recognized for: His debut film “Boyz in the Hood” catapulted him from South Central’s gangland to the Oscars’ red carpet… becoming the first African American and youngest ‘best director’ nominee. A perceived lack of black-made, black-themed Hollywood entertainment really got Mr. Singleton’s blood pressure going… so much so that a hypertension-related stroke left him in a coma. 2 weeks later, the time came to pull the plug… and John’s vision was finally fulfilled… as everything went black.
